Survey Information

Customer Satisfaction Survey

Focus Forward is Administration and Finance’s annual Customer Satisfaction Survey. We would like to invite you to share your feedback on our division’s services to the campus community over the past year.


Prizes

While the survey covers every unit and department within A&F, you are only being asked to complete the sections relevant to you. For every department survey that you complete, you will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Close to 40 winners will be selected for prizes including a 36 inch Blackstone Griddle, a Ninja DualBrew Pro coffee system, Beats Studio Wireless Buds, a Spike Ball Set or one of 30 local business gift cards.

The survey will be open until midnight on March 24.
